The freshman sprinter from Littleton will represent Colorado at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the 400-meter relay along with Buffs brothers Jeremy Dodson, Quinton Dodson and A.J. Whitaker.
"Kyle is our step brother. He`s our brother from another (mother)," Whitaker said with a smile before a recent practice at Potts Field. "We remember Kyle when he was little running track. He has always been fast. There was no breaking of the ice, we already knew each other and he just flows right in."
The quartet posted their best time of the season (39.91 seconds) at the NCAA West Regional in Austin, Texas, to earn an automatic bid to the national championships, which begin today in Eugene, Ore.
"It`s awesome," MacIntosh said. "It`s a really good experience. They all get along well and have that chemistry."
With three siblings on the team and the unofficial adoption of MacIntosh, the CU relay team will bring some natural unity to the starting line for the semifinal, which is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. today.
"A lot of it is very good," CU sprints coach Drew Morano said of having three brothers on a relay team. "They have been doing handoffs all their lives together and there`s not a learning curve as far as that goes. Obviously, there is the bickering that goes on amongst brothers and everything like that. But they are all very focused and they all want it for each other.
"It`s just as special to Jeremy as it is to everyone else.
Jeremy Dodson is on the short list of greatest sprinters in CU history. The senior holds the school record in the 200 -- both indoor and outdoor -- and will compete for a national title in his signature event this weekend after winning his heat at the regionals with a season-best time of 20.40.
"I wish I could have done more," Jeremy Dodson said of a stellar collegiate career that likely would have been even more impressive if not for injuries. "I wanted to be the top guy, the top sprinter at CU that everyone remembers. But I`m pretty proud of what I`ve done so far and looking forward to the future to come."
Jeremy Dodson failed to qualify for nationals in the 100, but that could prove to be a blessing in disguise if he is able to cross the finish line with a personal record in the 200.
"The national title is well within reach," Morano said. "It`s something he has been pushing for all year, it has been his motivation. There is some very good competition out there and he has raced a lot of it already. If he has a great day ... first off we want to get through to the finals, then once we`re there Jeremy needs to run Jeremy`s race and good things will happen."
Dodson`s decision to transfer from Arkansas to CU has helped balance Mark Wetmore`s track and field program, which has always been known for producing dominant long-distance runners.
"Jeremy definitely changed the game on them," said Whitaker, who is the Dodson`s half-brother. "We`re trying to continue that trend. When you get that caliber of a long distance team, I don`t see why we can`t win the Big 12`s the next two years if we just step it up as sprinters."
Whitaker and Quinton Dodson are sophomores, which means Jeremy Dodson will be passing the black and gold baton to them after graduating and turning professional later this year.
"We`re not going to fill his shoes," Quinton Dodson said. "We just want to maintain a good reputation for the school and for ourselves also."
The finals for the 400 relay and the 200 will be contested on Saturday within 40 minutes of one another. Oh, brother!
"At regionals people were saying, 'I never knew Colorado had sprinters.` Now they know my name, and I hope from now on we will have a well-rounded team at Colorado," Jeremy Dodson said of his legacy. "Other coaches from around the nation know I`m national championship caliber (in the 200) if I put it down. Going into this meet, I`m trying to do something great. ...
"My brothers help keep me focused and give me that motivation to push us a little bit more. I don`t want to hear their mouth when I go in the stands about getting second place or getting third place. They know I can do better because they see me every day."

August 23, 2010
Kristen Bell: ...And it is, it really is. At the end of the day it's that deep-seeded pain that forces their desire to fight back. They still want revenge on these girls. It's almost primal. It's like if you have a group of monkeys...
Andy Fickman: Uh, sorry, sorry, Kristen, can you emphasize the comedic element?
Kristen Bell: Sure.
Andy Fickman: Great.
Kristen Bell: I just, I think the audience should understand where we're coming from, or know our motivations. I think it's, it's paramount because it's so relate-able.
Andy Fickman: I'm the director, and I just want people to know it's a comedy. So, I think you...
Kristen Bell: Why do you always have to announce your position? I know you're the director. I don't walk around saying I am the actor.
Betty White: Because nobody would believe her if she did. [Laughs]
Kristen Bell: What?
Odette Yustman: Nothing. [Laughs]
Kristen Bell: Betty, do you have something that you want to say to me?
Betty White: Odette and I were saying that the waste of time how you won't stop talking.
Odette Yustman: I-I actually didn't say that.
Betty White: Well, we were all thinking it. Show of hands of everybody who thinks Kristen just goes on and on and yammers and yammers.
Kristen Bell: Okay, fine. Fine. I'll stop. That's good. See how well the movie does without it's biggest star promoting it.
Sigourney Weaver: [Laughs] Biggest star. Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere.
Betty White: Nailed it!
Odette Yustman: Actually, we all know that Betty is the biggest star of the film.
Sigourney Weaver: Well, actually, if we're gonna go by box office totals...
Kristen Bell: If you say Avatar...
Sigourney Weaver: If I say the word Avatar, Kristen, what?! Avatar! Avatar! Alien! Ghostbusters!
Betty White: You might be a quarter of my age, but I will take you down.
Odette Yustman: Yeah, you know what?
Kristen Bell: Why is there any reason to take me down? I'm not...
Odette Yustman: No!
Sigourney Weaver: Working Girl!
Kristen Bell: I, I'm not...
Sigourney Weaver: Ice Storm!
Kristen Bell: There's no reason...
Odette Yustman: No reason?
Kristen Bell: Just listen to me for a second. You know what? We are so tight on this we cannot resort...
Betty White: Yammering! All she does is yammer!
Sigourney Weaver: Heartbreak.
Kristen Bell: We need to be respecting each other. We are actors. Not animals.
Sigourney Weaver: We are living dangerously.
Betty White: I wish we were animals! And you, my dear, are the cackling hyena of the animal world!
Kristen Bell: Okay, that's uncalled for!
Andy Fickman: Ladies! Ladies!
Sigourney Weaver: WALL-E.
Andy Fickman: Ladies! Ladies! Ladies! Ladies. Please. Please. Ladies, we had so much fun making this movie. Huh? Let's not let today spoil it. You're beautiful, you're talented women, great friends. Come on, please. Let's start over. Let's start over? Please?
Kristen Bell: Thank you, Andy. If I can just add, it really is a shame that from after, after spending three months together...
Odette Yustman: Wow, I'm done.
Kristen Bell: We can't, what? We...
Andy Fickman: She can't shut up.
Kristen Bell: We can't just... That was crazy! You've been in this business a long time. I'm sure you've seen it, though. Women just, sometimes gang up on other women. No, for no reason. You know?
Betty White: Oh, there's always a reason.
Sigourney Weaver: Avatar!

"The Village" is the sequel to "The Pride."
Synopsis of "The Pride:"
Four women have two things in common. They're all mothers, and the father of their children is the same man.
Although Emmanuel does everything he can to provide for his own household, and four others, it's just not enough to keep the mothers of his children from just scraping by.
Xavari convinces Denise, Angela and Romina that the four of them must pick up the slack where Emmanuel is unable.
Synopsis of "The Village:"
Now that Xavari, Denise, Angela, Romina and the children are in their communal home, the real work begins.
The mothers have different ways of raising their own children, which sometimes conflicts with the other mothers.
The older children get embroiled in a controversy they're trying desperately to keep from the mothers and their father.
Two of the younger children have secrets, but neither one's secret has anything to do with the other, but both secrets affect the entire family.
Emmanuel confronts his issues and discloses what he heard when he was hiding in the tree in "The Pride."
All this and more happens in "The Village."

Adaptation means anticipating the adverse effects of climate change and taking appropriate action to prevent or minimise the damage they can cause, or taking advantage of opportunities that may arise. It has been shown that well planned, early adaptation action saves money and lives later.
Examples of adaptation measures include: using scarce water resources more efficiently; adapting building codes to future climate conditions and extreme weather events; building flood defences and raising the levels of dykes; developing drought-tolerant crops; choosing tree species and forestry practices less vulnerable to storms and fires; and setting aside land corridors to help species migrate.
Adaptation strategies are needed at all levels of administration: at the local, regional, national, EU and also the international level. Due to the varying severity and nature of climate impacts between regions in Europe, most adaptation initiatives will be taken at the regional or local levels. The ability to cope and adapt also differs across populations, economic sectors and regions within Europe.
The Commission adopted an EU adaptation strategy in April 2013 which has been welcomed by the Member States. Complementing the activities of Member States, the strategy supports action by promoting greater coordination and information-sharing between Member States, and by ensuring that adaptation considerations are addressed in all relevant EU policies.
The EU's role can be particularly appropriate when climate change impacts transcend borders of individual states - such as with river basins - and when impacts vary considerably across regions. The role of the EU can be especially useful to enhance solidarity among Member States and ensure that disadvantaged regions and those most affected by climate change are capable of taking the necessary measures to adapt.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is a scientific body under the auspices of the United Nations, set up s) to review and assess the most recent scientific, technical and socio-economic information produced worldwide relevant to the understanding of climate change Thousands of scientists from all over the world contribute to the work of the IPCC on a voluntary basis.
In 2007, the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report stated that warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as evidenced from observations at continental, regional and ocean basin scales worldwide. The observed 100-year warming trend (1906-2005) is 0,74°C, and the warmest years on record are all concentrated in the last decade. Other observed climate changes include changes in the Arctic, widespread changes in precipitation amounts, ocean salinity, wind patterns and aspects of extreme weather including droughts, heavy precipitation, heatwaves and the intensity of tropical cyclonesThe temperature increase is widespread over the globe and is greater at higher northern latitudes. Land regions have warmed faster than the oceans.
The IPCC also concluded in 2007 that most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations. Other discernible human influences on climate comprehend ocean warming, continental-average temperatures, temperature extremes and wind patterns.
All existing climate models are consistent in showing a continued warming trend along the 21st century, though they differ in intensity depending on the amount of emissions expected and on the model used to project warming. In 2007, the likely range of global average warming was estimated to be between 1.1 and 6.4°C, relative to 1980-1999. In March 2009 the International Scientific Congress concluded that the worst-case IPCC scenario trajectories (or even worse) are being realised.
In January 2013 the European Environment Agency (EEA) published its latest report on 'Climate change, impacts and vulnerability in Europe 2012' . The presents evidence on climate trends and impacts in Europe, and future projections. Among the report's main faindings are:
Climate change (increases in temperature, changes in precipitation and decreases in ice and snow) is occurring globally and in Europe; some of these observed changes have established records in recent years. Observed climate change has already led to a wide range of impacts on environmental systems and society, and include:
Coasts and European seas : overall rise in sea levels; increase in ocean acidification, sea surface temperature and ocean heat content; earlier seasonal appearance of various marine species; northward expansion of some fish and plankton species.
Freshwater systems : changes in river flows, with decreases in southern and eastern and increases in other regions; increases in the reported number of floods, in the frequency and intensity of droughts (in particular in southern Europe), and in water temperature in rivers and lakes.
Observed impacts of climate change are projected to continue due to further climate change. The level of future impacts will depend on the magnitude of climate change and on socio‑economic and environmental factors. Vulnerability to climate change varies widely across regions and sectors in Europe. Particularly vulnerable regions include: Southern Europe and the Mediterranean basin (due to heat and droughts), the Alps (due to rapid melting of snow and ice), coastal zones, deltas and floodplains (due to sea level rise, intense rainfall, floods and storms) and Europe's far north, the Arctic and Outermost regions (due to increased global warming).
Economic sectors that rely strongly on certain temperatures and precipitation – from agriculture to forestry, fisheries, energy to tourism – are also highly vulnerable. Water availability and quality are also expected to be affected across Europe.
While society at large is expected to be affected, the most vulnerable (elderly, disabled and low-income households) are likely to be more susceptible to climate impacts.
In basketball terms, the problem with drafting a guy like Andrew Wiggins is that he might get really expensive right when he gets really good. Or he might take his talents to Los Angeles or Manhattan or South Beach. Teams should probably assume that any surplus value from a draft pick comes from his first four or five seasons and draft on that basis.
There's a flip-side for sophomores like Marcus Smart. They might get really expensive right when they start to stink — unlike freshmen, sophomores typically begin to decline after about five seasons in the league. An incautious team might sign such a player to a massive extension when he isn't worth one , asin the case of Rudy Gay and the Memphis Grizzlies . A rational team, however, should be able to resist that temptation — or even exploit other teams' failure to appreciate the aging curve by trading a player like Smart right when he's at his peak.
There's another benefit to drafting sophomores. In addition to being slightly better than freshmen in their first few NBA seasons, they come slightly cheaper. The table below compares the win shares produced by each class of player in itsfirst four NBA seasons 10
More precisely, the first four NBA seasons after the players are drafted. If a player is drafted but doesn't participate in the league, I count him as having zero value.
The data on the value associated with a particular draft position is slightly noisy, so I've estimated it by calculating a trend line on the natural logarithm of the draft pick number. The method is highly similar to the one I used in the
Narrow belt in 100 leather Peter Hahn red Peter Hahn iSRvmLKIIt
, although it's calibrated based on a player's first four seasons rather than his first five and considers draft picks since 1995 instead of 1985.
Exploiting a 10 percent edge won't ensure a team a title. The Celtics will need some luck to build a championship contender around Smart, Rondo and rotation players like Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk. The sophomore strategy isn't sexy, and other players chosen on Thursday have higher upsides than Smart. But the Celtics are playing the percentages while other teams are playing the lottery.
The Phoenix Suns , who traded their 2007 first-round pick to acquire him.
Technically speaking, my data includes the top 30 draft picks from each season rather than first-rounders . There are currently 30 picks in the first round, but there were fewer before the league added the Charlotte Bobcats in 2004.

My 15 year old was denied taking his PSAT-10 in his sophomore year ( yesterday ) because his school only has 75 tests to take. He signed up at #78. He is an AP straight A student. His guidance counselor told him it was no big deal to take. I am furious !!! Please help and / or advise !!!! A Very Concerned Parent
Hi David, I'm sorry to hear your son isn't able to take the PSAT 10 at his school. It may be possible for him to test at another school - you can search schools here: https://ordering.collegeboard.org/testordering/publicSearch and then contact them to discuss whether this would be possible.I also wonder if his school could order more test books, as this seems to be an option through January 15: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt-psat-10/k12-educators/psat-10-datesIf he isn't able to take the PSAT-10 in the end, the good news is that he can still gain a lot by taking self-timed PSAT practice tests - even simulating testing room conditions - and prepping for next year's PSAT. Even if he doesn't get the real test experience this time around, he can still prepare himself well and achieve excellent scores next year, when the PSAT counts for National Merit. You can check out some PSAT/NMSQT practice materials and study tips in these guides:http://blog.prepscholar.com/the-new-psat-redesigned-in-2015-complete-guidehttp://blog.prepscholar.com/psat-practice-test-updated-for-2015http://blog.prepscholar.com/what-s-a-perfect-psat-score-and-how-to-get-itHope this information helps - ideally his school can order more test books in time for the administration.

Centraal Station and Tram 9 subsequently.
The main shopping areas in the center are the 51.919993 4.477304 Lijnbaan and the 51.920675 4.484503 Hoogstraat . Both are pedestrianised. The Lijnbaan , which runs straight south from the Weena (close to Rotterdam Centraal ) was the first pedestrianised shopping street in the world when it was built in 1953. Now it is more of an average shopping street with average shops. In weekends it's very crowded. Linking the Lijnbaan with the Hoogstraat is the 51.920066 4.480523 Beurstraverse , dubbed Koopgoot (Buying-gutter). A subterrainean passage, also connecting to Beurs metro station. It's all rather big and somewhat strange for a Dutch city, but it fits perfectly into the Rotterdam aspiration of being different. If you're looking for it, ask for the Koopgoot , as the official name is little known.
The Beurstraverse gives direct access to the city's main department stores:
There are about 12 larger and smaller markets dotted around Rotterdam. Most of them are enjoyable places to walk through.
51.920126 4.486789 Markthal , Ds. Jan Scharpstraat 298 ( Binnenrotte, Metro: Blaak ). Market stands: M-Sa 10:00-20:00, Su 12:00-18:00; Albert Heijn: M-Sa 08:00-21:00, Su 10:00-20:00; Bars and restaurants: 10:00-00:00 . Opened in 2014 by a Dutch princess (who else!), It is a quite remarkable building which is worth a visit per se . It more like a hybrid between a market and a shopping centre. Besides the large market hall, there are also residential, office sections, retail sections. Last but not least the Markthal houses a wide variety of bars, food stalls and restaurants. Enjoy meals or bites from mediterean or asian origin or try the famous Rotterdam fries of Bram Ladage. ( updated Sep 2017 )
With a typical (at least for the Netherlands) Rotterdam skyline of skyscrapers, river Nieuwe Maas and Hotel New York Fenix Food Factory offers food/bites and beers on a unique venue. The building itself is an old warehouse which did not lose much of its original character.

Infant in child abuse case dies
Tarran Edwards jailed without bond
Authorities said an infant who was severely beaten by a caregiver Monday has died.
Officials with the Greenville County Sheriff's Office said they were called to Brantford Lane in reference to a child who was unresponsive.
Investigators said the child was in the care of Tarran Edwards, 26, at the time of the incident.
Medical personnel told authorities the injuries resulted from physical abuse. The infant, Syre Parks, 11 weeks, was taken to Greenville Memorial Hospital for treatment.
Edwards was charged with abuse to inflict great bodily injury upon a child. He is being held at the Greenville County Detention Center without bond.
Officials said they learned Wednesday Parks had died at the hospital. An autopsy is pending.

U.S. Steel Corp., the country's largest producer of the metal, idled half of its domestic capacity after an accident at a Michigan plant while unusually icy conditions on Lake Michigan delayed raw-material shipments to another facility.
U.S. Steel idled its Gary Works in Indiana, its largest plant, because of the ice, the company said in an April 2 letter to customers that was obtained by Bloomberg News.
The Great Lakes saw 91 percent ice cover in early March, the second-highest level on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "These severe ice conditions have not occurred on the Great Lakes for more than three decades," U.S. Steel said in the letter.
The three blast furnaces at the company's Great Lakes plant in Ecorse are down after a March 27 roof collapse, Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel said in an emailed statement. A contract worker operating a crane at the site of the collapse at the plant's No. 2 basic oxygen furnace died in an accident today, the company said in the statement.
Gary has 7.5 million tons of annual steelmaking capacity while the Michigan plant has 3.8 million tons, according to a company filing. U.S. Steel's domestic capacity is 22 million tons. The company's U.S. mills produced 17.9 million tons in 2013.

Great experience at this convenient location! Excellent customer service! Quick phone repair!Experimac Website User
My MacBook Pro video card failed about three years ago and I was so annoyed with Apple (sorry, out of warranty by a week, just buy a new one!) that I just left it on a desk and have used PCs since then. I finally had the grit available to determine what options were out there and I found Experimac. I went to the store and they gave me two options: repair the video card/mother board and I think that would have been around $800 or trade in my old laptop and buy a newer laptop which is what I did. I never buy the extended warranties but I was so impressed with the knowledge of the staff and the service I received that I got the warranty. They repair iPhones and repair resell Apple computers. If you have any interest in these services then go to their store.Google User

This is a great business for the neighborhood. Their equipment prices are quite comparable to what you'd find online, but you get to see-it touch-it feel-it before purchasing.The staff members I spoke to today are very helpful and even researched additional hardware I requested and then called me with results same-day. They offer flexible financing options too.Again, great business.-ZGoogle User
Excellent service.Google User
quick and easy! i love it!! so happy to have my phone back :) definitely recommendGoogle User
Fantastic service. Fixed my daughter's SHATTERED phone in less than an hour. Very courteous as well. BTW, the owner said they have prices for refurbished Mac's 30-40% less than Apple or Best Buy. We will definitely be back!Google User
When the battery on my iPhone "failed" it puffed up and pushed the glass screen off my phone. I thought I was going to have to shell out for a new iPhone; but, Experimac on Mockingbird fixed my phone in less than an hour, for about $40, and I was back in business. I didn't even know that the iPhone battery could be replaced, let alone get it replaced so cheaply and quickly. I'm super impressed with this store.Facebook User
So very pleased with the repair to my iphone 5. The screen had pulled up from the edge and the phone suddenly stopped working. They explained it was the battery that swelled. They replaced the battery and got everything back as needed. 3 hours later, the battery seemed really slow to charge so I took it back and they put another new battery in at no additional charge. Work has a 90 day warranty. And for $43 I still get to keep using my phone!Yelp User
Went to this Experimac to get some supplies and help with a repair on another iphone and bought the best protective cover that they had to install which they did at no charge. Several people say they havent seen this special protector they provided me anywhere else. Phone has been dropped numerous times but not damaged like in previous situation. GREAT SERVICE, will return for sure !!! Will go there next time I need a pre-owned Iphone or Macbook !Google User
Great service and very prompt repairs. They fixed my cracked phone screen in about an hour. Easy location off of Mockingbird and 75-- great for SMU students.Google User
I had an issue with my laptop battery and they were able to fix it very quickly. I would definitely go back.Google User
I feel lucky to have found them. I'm new to Dallas, and my computer suffered damage in the moving process...they solved my issues and went over and above the call of duty to take care of me quickly and accurately. Very knowledgable staff!Facebook User
EXCELLENT service and product!! They were knowledgeable and helpful in every way. I was in and out with exactly what I needed at a great price in 30 minutes! Highly recommend!Yelp User

I called about replacing my battery in my Macbook. They validated that they had the part and offered to take my number in case they ran out. About a week later, I got a reminder phone call asking if I still wanted the battery replacement. Very few companies would take the time to follow up like that. When I arrived, they were prompt, courteous and professional. There are a couple of things I would note. First, allow them time (probably about ~15 minutes) to do diagnostics on your computer just in case there are other problems. This protects the customer as much as it does them. One suggestion that I had was I was a little surprised when they wanted my computer password. I offered to come back and log in for the final confirmation. Perhaps I could have created a guest account instead? Not sure. I was a little surprised at how casual this request was made but they seemed to understand and respectful of my reluctance to do so. Will definitely go back here - they are a great alternative to the Apple store.Yelp User
This place is an awesome place for Mac products and also Mac repairs and accessories. The customer service is excellent and Rina is extremely attentive.

I recently took my MacBook Pro into have it examined. It was making a rattling sound and I thought it was a bearing on the fan. They quickly examined it and found it only a small piece of plastic which was touching the fan. They were able to repair it simply by blowing at the piece with compressed air. Works perfectly now.While I was there, I spoke to them about the fact that my 2011 Mac was getting really slow. They upgraded the hard drive to solid state at a reasonable price and now it perform better than the day I bought it.They are very professional and courteous with an attractive showroom.I highly recommend this business if you need any work on your Apple Products.Yelp User

My phone broke late in the day and I took it to AT&T store, it was going to be "several days" b/c they send the phone off for repair. I was leaving town for Thanksgiving the following morning and needed my phone so I looked elsewhere for a repair place. The staff at Experimac were beyond nice and accommodating. They were just closing for the night and still took the time to talk to me and take my order. They told me they would have it repaired and ready first thing in the morning. It was. Super service, fair price. Highly recommend.Yelp User
I have a iMac and was told needed a new hard drive and fan by a competitor. Really glad I found this place because their recommendation got me a better hard drive and included additional RAM memory for the same price as the competitor. Very straight forward, friendly and kept me updated through the process. If I need additional work on any of my Apple products, I'll be going here and will recommend to my friends and family.Yelp User
Experimac is awesome! I went in to see if they could help with my apple iphone cracked screen and slow charging battery and ended up returning in 30 minutes with everything fixed. It was so great, I left my MacBook Pro for an upgraded hard drive at a very reasonable rate!Thank you!!Dr BGoogle User
Absolutely the best for professional, polite service and great prices!!Google User
Excellent service. Very helpful. Even a Layaway plan for buying my "new" to me Mac laptop. Can't wait to get it paid off in March!Facebook User
I just needed my shattered iPhone screen replaced; they did it while I waited (less than 45 minutes) and it was less expensive than I expected (based on my wife getting her screened replaced a couple months ago by someone else). Also, the folks in the store were very friendly; I'll definitely be using this place from here on out. As a bonus, there are a couple great stores in this strip mall to kill time while you're waiting on your repair to be done--RunOn if you're the athletic type, or else Whole Earth Provision Company. But they also have a waiting area in the store with TV, etc., if that's not your thing.Facebook User

I have gone to Experimac twice myself and my family has gone several other times. Not only are they deligent, thorough, and persistent, but also very kind. Both times, my screens were heavily cracked and they were able to change the screen with no problems (quickly too). I was initially very nervous about loosing my pictures, but they turned a stressful moment into a very relaxed one. I would recommend everyone to go to this family owned business!Facebook User
Experimac on Mockingbird is simply wonderful! They have completed several jobs for me and I am always satisfied. Knowledgable, friendly, and great service!!!Facebook User

Facebook Investors Shrug Off Concerns About $19 Billion Deal
Shares Rise as WhatsApp Buy Is Seen Helping Social Network's Mobile, International Operations
Shares of Facebook Inc. rose Thursday as the potential benefits seen from the company's deal to purchase messaging company WhatsApp outweighed the hefty $19 billion price tag.
"The acquisition price will likely be jarring to many investors," Stifel Nicolaus analyst Jordan E. Rohan said. Also, because Facebook is using stock to pay for part of the deal, current shareholders will see their holdings diluted by 8%, the analyst added....

#8: Two people, same name. One is the Father of Noah, one is the Father of Noah('s wife, since women aren't listed). Would be a lot simpler if they said the Mothers names huh....#10: One had 2 extra generations. Considering the ages at the time, if Cain's side had children 20 years slower than Seth's side, this would account for a shorter descendant line. Even these days, having children at 40 instead of 20, means you most likely will only see grandchildren as opposed to great-grandchildren.
I've never heard of this guy before, but I definitely plan to keep him on my mental list of "people to pay attention to".
But none of us are likely to hold back much when we disagree with your position on something. Evidence and facts are what drive the vast majority of us here, and we don't hesitate to stomp down hard on "woo".
sarevok, what is it about you that makes you think you know more than this guy about his particular field of expertise?
Your apologies for 8 & 10 do not add up. If, as you claim, one list is of the male descendants and the other is somehow of the women, they should represent paired couples, spouses. Your answers do not account for that that. In other words, somewhere there are two men or two women in the line that are not paired to anyone.
This is the same problem with the two different genealogies for jesus H in Matt and Luke. First, they are different between David and Joseph's father. Second, one has 15 more generations than the other.
and one is Noah's wife's genealogy.
#8: Two people, same name. One is the Father of Noah, one is the Father of Noah('s wife, since women aren't listed). Would be a lot simpler if they said the Mothers names huh.
One is Noah's Father's genealogy, and one is Noah's wife's genealogy.
If you want, I'll look this up and try to elaborate here with sources, but this wasn't one of the contradictions listed on the site, so I didn't cover it.
On what grounds is this claim to be believed? How do we know it was Noah's wife's genealogy, especially since her name does not appear?
The Lamech in Genesis 5 gives birth to a son and acknowledges God in he's naming (Gen5:28-29).In contrast, Lamech in Genesis 4 boasts about killing someone (Gen4:23-24).So one Lamech is boastful about killing someone, and the other acknowledges God by the name he gave he's child. Either Lamech has a split personality disorder, or the Lamechs are two different people, with different personalities.
EDIT: I posted the above before I had started actually reading the blog. I've read the first several entries, and I can definitely say that I highly recommend it. The author, Steven Dimattei, is highly erudite and eloquent. I'd even put him in kcrady's league. I've never heard of this guy before, but I definitely plan to keep him on my mental list of "people to pay attention to".

Hey you wild cats, dreamers, redeemers, horizontals,
The stage is set for a climactic showdown in Chicago.
The crisis of capitalism is deepening. Youth unemployment has reached 50% in Spain and Greece… 30% in Portugal and Italy… 22% in the UK… almost 20% in the US. Hundreds of millions of people around the world are waking up to the fact that their future does not compute… that their lives will be a never ending series of ecological, financial, political and personal crises… and that if we don't rise up and start fighting for a different kind of future, we won't have a future.
That struggle ignites again May 1.
#OCCUPYCHICAGO will be the focal point of this global spiritual insurrection… 50,000 of us will converge on the windy city and confront the G8 and NATO leaders with an ultimatum. We will set up impromptu encampments throughout the city and wage a full-spectrum memewar backed up by new tactics of anarchic swarming. Our militant in-your-face nonviolence will inspire thousands of towns, cities and campuses around the world to rise up in solidarity just like they did last October.
This is a worldwide, multi-front mutiny against the way our economic and military leaders are running the world.
On the CULTURAL FRONT we confront the corpo-commercial lie machine – we shift the way information flows and meaning is produced. We train a new breed of livestreamers, citizen journos and p2p visionaries and unleash them in the streets to be the eyes of the world during the month of May.
On the ENVIRONMENTAL FRONT we demand the G8 reach consensus on drastically reducing their carbon footprints and immediately ratifying a binding international accord on climate change.
On the ECONOMIC FRONT we throw our movement's weight behind one simple demand: the implementation of a 1% Robin Hood Tax on all financial transactions and currency trades.
On the GEOPOLITICAL FRONT we tell Obama, Cameron, Sarkozy, Putin, Merkel, Noda, Monti, Harper and the NATO military leaders to stop the warmongering and start fighting for peace. We block the looming Iran war with a preemptive global initiative that just about everyone in the world can get behind: a nuclear-free world starting with a nuclear-free Middle East that includes both Israel and Iran.
On the PERSONAL FRONT, hundreds of millions of us vow to live the month of May without dead time… to experience joyous camaraderie… to open ourselves to an imminent life changing epiphany. We follow Miles Davis' advice on how to play jazz: be spontaneously alive and "play what's not there."
Occupy has taught us all. It innovates, fractures, grows resilient and more diverse. In this spirit we celebrate the Gandhian ferocity of the Zuccottis who launched this movement with their magical assemblies and nonviolent ways … we extol the growing crop of working groups with their desire for a positive program of social and political change. And on the wild side we honor those in Oakland who have lost their fear against all odds. With this rainbow coalition, we hold our heads high and embrace the heady days of Spring.
Jammers pack your tents, phone your friends, get your affinity groups together and prepare to put your ass on the line for a worldwide people's uprising starting May 1.
for the wild,
Culture Jammers HQ

bags, dog crates, ski and water sports carriers, KAMEI car styling and other car accessories for sale or rental.
Welcome to The Roof Box Company
We're UK distributors for many of the world's most innovative car accessory manufacturers, sourcing specialist products that come under the broad headings of "load carrying stuff", "interior car protection", and "tyre traction"; we also trade at the subtler end of the car styling market.
Each product group has its own Home Page, with details of Special Offers. Check out the Bargains pages if you're looking for cheap overstocks, end of range items, damaged or returned items - they're always sold very cheap.
Car Seat Covers : Protect your car seats from the worst that your family and pets will throw at them. Most of Walser's car seatcovers are TÜV approved for cars with side airbags, using a special seam, not just by leaving a gap in the seat cover. The seat covers are available in real Nappa leather, jacquard, velour, cotton, sheepskin (warm in winter, cool in summer), and waterproof seatcovers.
KAMEI (Germany) makes the best roof boxes on the planet, so it's no surprise to see them winning all the serious product test awards. This year Auto Express gave their Best Buy to the KAMEI 510, a new generation which offers KAMEI's legendary styling, engineering and build quality at a mid market price.
Car Bootliners and Mats: We have thousands of low sided and high sided car-specific bootliners and mats, all with a "rim around the edge" so that whatever's spilt on the bootliner stays on the bootliner. There are even full length MPV boot liners with cut outs for the seats. Keep the car clean and maximise its resale value!
AutoSock car snow socks are the high-tech solution to driving on snow and ice. AutoSock will get you down to the main roads, get you to important meetings, get you home. They're small, lightweight, a doddle to fit – Prices start at only £49.95
WalkyGuard dog guards are an innovative fast-fitting universal car dog guard that fits to the rear headrest posts and is easily moved from vehicle to vehicle. Head rest mounting allows a boot cover to be left in place. It's a one piece welded steel construction dogguard which, importantly, doesn't rattle.
The Thule ProRide 598 silver and 598 black cycle carriers are one of Thule's best products. Thule is the world's largest manufacturer of car racks - you'll find one of their modular roof bar systems is available for almost all cars. The Roof Box Company supplies most Thule products.
Don't leave this page before looking at...
Please check out the following items. They're some of our best selling product ranges, useful things you might not have thought about before:
We're UK distributors for Europe's most innovative snowchain manufacturers - Maggi, RUD, Spikes-Spider. The Swiss Spikes-Spider is the fastest fitting chain available with fittings for almost every vehicle, including cars where traditonal snowchains can't be used. Uniquely, the SPORT can be resized to fit just about every tyre size, providing long term value. Their new ALPINE PRO (pictured) is ideal for big 4x4s and light commercial vehicles and also works extremely well on grass and in mud.
RUD is Europe's biggest car snow chain makers and supplies snowchains to most of Europe's most prestigious car makers. We supply all their own brand snowchains. The easy2go is their mid market snowchain, easy to fit and with a "continuous tensioning device" so once fitted you don't have to stop again to retension.
If you're at all concerned about driving on ice and snow then check out this link. AutoSock snow socks will get you down to the main roads, get you to important meetings, get you home. They're small, lightweight, a doddle to fit. Leave a set in the car all year so you have them when you need them.
The most innovative tow bar bike rack we've ever seen, for 3 to 4 bikes. It slides away from the tailgate, supporting the weight of the bikes, and is also small enough to placed in the boot when not in use - just what you need when parking on the street or in town car parks. A 2 to 3 bike rack version is also available. Comes with UK legal foglights!
Dog Cages, Dog Crates and Pet carriers
For dogs or cats: We sell a range of folding steel dog cages and fabric dog crates, but don't visit this section without checking out the Dog Bag range which we think is the best travel system for both dogs and their owners. Dogs appreciate the warmth and comfort provided by the textile sides, with more privacy and better sun protection. Owners like the way that their pets settle down quickly, as well as the relatively small 'footprint' of the Dog Bag, leaving boot space for the luggage. Other pet carriers include Pet Tube, and Jet Set (ideal as a cat carrier).
MasterLine dog guards/safety guards
A major contribution to family safety: Your car may have crumple zones, side impact protection, and airbags all round. But what's to protect you from being seriously injured (or worse) from a frozen chicken in the boot, flying forward at 40mph? If you haven't got a TÜV approved safety guard behind the rear seats, the answer is "Nothing". Check out "What fits my car?" to see if there's a MasterLine dogguard for your car. It will be cheap at the price. Although the BICE WalkyGuard has not been formally tested as a safety guard, the fact that a strong all-welded steel guard is securely fastened behind the rear headrest posts should be a considerable comfort. The dangers posed by objects thrown forward from the boot of a vehicle tend to be underestimated.
B&W International (part of the BWH Koffer group) is probably Germany's premier manufacturer of specialist bikecases, cycle boxes and bicycle bags. Their market-leading bike protection products, bike.case and bike.box, have won many awards in recent years. They provide serious protection for airline travel - much more than is possible with even a well padded bike bag.
Almost all the Walser car seat covers we sell have the patented Walser "Clix III" side-airbag system.

How To Get Custody Back Of A Child
Hello, my name is Brian Galbraith and I'm the owner of Galbraith Family Law. We're a law firm of family law lawyers located in Barrie, Orillia and Newmarket. How does a father get custody of his children Now, there's a myth out there that fathers never get custody of their children. This is based on the historic fact that, traditionally, mothers were primarily responsible for the care of children and fathers were the bread winners. So it made sense, in those days, that the court would order custody to the mother since.
She was the one primarily looking after the children anyway. It was in the children's best interested to be with their mother. Nowadays, both mothers and fathers usually participate in the care giving and in earning the income for the family. As a result the Ontario courts are more inclined to order an equal time sharing regime for the children. If a father wants custody of his children, he needs to prove that it's in the best interest of the children that he has custody. A strong argument would be that he was traditionally.
The one responsible or primarily responsible for the care, and that he can continue to provide the care that the children want and deserve. Custody battles are often very nasty. They can take many months and even years to resolve and cost thousands of dollars in legal fees. The children often suffer when there's a custody battle between their parents. As a result we prefer to help our clients negotiate a settlement. One of the best processes to do that is called collaborative practice. That's a process where the parties agree not to go to court and they work with professionals to find a resolution.
How Do Fathers Get Custody of Their Child
To their petty issues and any other issues that they have to resolve related to the separation. It's a very cost effective process and keeps the power of decision making in the hands of the parents. Most importantly, it helps prevent the children from being in the middle of a battle between mum and dad. If this tutorial's been helpful, give it a thumps up. And if you'd like to learn more information or have one of our lawyers help you with your custody issues, please go to our website which.

With a child's toothbrush, a finger brush or a special cat toothbrush, brush your feline's teeth with cat toothpaste on a regular basis. Start slowly and very gently, offering tasty treats to discourage squirming, before attempting to increase brushing times.
With almost 1 million cats worldwide, Catbook has become an online phenomenon for people to network with other cat-friendly folks. According to the American Pet Products Association 2011-2012 National Pet Owners Survey, 38.9 million U.S. households own a cat, with many of them engaging in social media. Why should you and your cat be left out?
Romeo the Cat knows all about having the social spotlight shone down on his presence. Cat mom and PR guru Caroline Golon reports that Romeo has been able to turn his large social network into action. "He's raised more than $60,000 for pet-related causes through social media," says Golon.
How does a doted-upon indoor cat rise to Internet fame? Golon recommends beginning on Twitter, since a large pet community exists there. "You can start conversations pretty much off the bat and expand it." Admittedly, she spends between eight and 10 hours a week blogging and splitting time between Facebook and Twitter.
Gracey is a celebri-cat in her home. Cat mom, writer and blogger Joanne McGonagle is the founder of The Tiniest Tiger. With Gracey as the muse for the website Conservation Cub Club, McGonagle relates the similarities between big cats and their small domesticated cousins. She engages regularly using social media for Gracey.

I am a student in a mixed university, here in Algeria all universities are mixed. After Allah has blesses me and I wore hejab I feel like I am distorting the image of a Muslim woman who wears hejab by going to a mixed university. It contains nearly 70% males and the rest are females. Sometimes we are obliged to deal with males in projects, and this forces me to talk to them, as sometimes I need things that I must ask them for. I cannot leave university as my parents refuse totally.
Please clarify the limits of talking to men. Am I considered 'forced' because my parents do not agree to me leaving university?.
In several previous answers we have discussed the ruling on mixing at work and in places of study. Please see the answer to question no. 1200 and 103044.
With regard to your problem, if you cannot leave school because of your social situation, then you must look for another branch or faculty of the university where the opportunities to deal with males and mix with them will be less, because the basic principle of sharee'ah is that if evil cannot be warded off entirely, then it must be reduced as much as possible.
If you cannot manage to make this change that we have suggested, then you have to observe complete hijab, lower your gaze and be chaste of speech in all circumstances, and reduce the opportunities of mixing with males. If you need something, then ask females for it, and try to work out something with your professor so that your projects will be done with female classmates.
If that is not possible, then it will be your responsibility to careful and mix less with men; beware of being alone with one of them, even if it is for the purpose of study, and keep your dealings with males to a minimum. If you are able to refuse to mix with them sometimes or for some work, then do that. Let your dealings be serious and do not let them get to know you or let the conversation go beyond the topic of study.
If you feel that you are becoming fond of someone or he is becoming fond of you, then leave this group and join another, even if your grades fall or your level of academic achievement is affected, within bearable limits.
Ask Allaah to protect you and help you to avoid temptations both obvious and hidden, and seek help with patience, prayer, fasting and remembrance of Allaah (dhikr).

Do You "Sea" What I "Sea"?
Lesson 9 of 10
Objective: SWBAT refer to parts of poems when speaking or writing and explain their own ideas and understanding in light of the discussion.
Big Idea: In this lesson, students will share poems that are inspired by the sea. As they listen to and read poems, they will make drawings of what they see in their minds, thinking about each stanza as they build upon each other, to develop their own point of view
Today, again my students meet with me by starting our lesson in our classroom meeting place-our rug near the easel. I remind students of the ocean poems we've recently read. We also do a quick review of the vocabulary we've acquired about poetry using our poetry anchor chart, including terms such as stanza, line, poet, poetry, etc.
At this point, I lean in and tell my students, "Boys and girls… guess what? Today, I'm going to read you my very favorite ocean poem!" I hear a few students gasp! I add, "The poem I'm going to read today is my favorite for a reason, but I'd like to see if you can figure out why it's my favorite first, without me telling you just yet!" I've instantly got my students hooked! They're wondering which poem might be my favorite, already trying to make guess, or starting to think over which poem we might not have read just yet!

Experience Learning
At this point, students head back to their seats and we pass out our poetry books that we've been using to learn about and practice reading ocean poetry. I say to the students, "Alright boys and girls, let's turn to page 7 where we will find my favorite ocean poem, entitled "Song of a Shell", which is written by Violet L. Cuslidge." I tell the students that as I read today, I want them to think about why this might be my favorite poem. They can think about what they know about me, and what I like, or don't like, to help them make some guesses as to why this might be my favorite poem. Then I begin to read the poem to the students.
Once I'm done reading, I tell the students that I bet they may have some guesses as to why this is my favorite poem. I ask the students to turn and talk to their tablemates about their guesses, or prediction, as to why this might be my favorite poem! As the students talk, I listen in, and this is really a fun part of the lesson! I'm listening for vocabulary usage of poetry terms, as well as making mental notes of which students are demonstrating active speaking and listening skills. But, as I do, it's so fun to hear what the kids come up with!
After a few minutes, I regain the students' attention using our Clapping Ball (see my Strategy Lessons folder for more information on the Clapping Ball). Then I ask students from each table group to share what the group was thinking! It's again fun to listen to what each group is thinking, but something interesting happens. While I discuss with the students about their ideas, I point out that not each group had the same idea as to why this is my favorite poem. I ask the class, "Do you think this okay? Can we have different ideas?" The students agree that yes, we could all have different ideas! I agree with the class, and tell them that now that they have made their best guesses, I wonder if they would like to know why this is actually my favorite poem. Of course, all the students say, "Yes!", so I share with them what this poem means to me, or what I see when I read this poem. I tell the kids that this poem reminds me of great times I've had with my family, many of which have taken place by a seashore! I love this poem because it reminds us that we don't have to go to a special place in order to remember it; instead, we can think back to the memory, or even use something as simple as the sound of the shell (or the song inside of the shell) to remind us of a special memory! What a neat poem!

Label New Learning
I tell the kids, "Boys and girls! I am so proud of you because you just did something wonderful-you demonstrated that you know sometimes poems can be interpreted differently by different people, based on their interests, knowledge of a topic, feelings at that moment, and more! This means that we can "see" different things in poems since we are all different. We make meaning from poems about what they might mean to us, and this helps us identify our own point of view, as compared to the narrator's (or author's or poet's) point of view!

Now I tell the students that we will read another poem together today as a class. This time though, as I read this poem to share it with them, I'd like them to draw what they "see" in their minds. This time, we share the poem "Seal Lullaby" written by Rudyard Kipling. I read as the students draw, and when they are finished, I again ask the kids to turn and share with their tablemates what they saw. In particular, I ask the students to have a conversation about the following:
-What was this poem about?
-What do you think the poet, or author, was trying to tell us?
-What did you "see" when you heard the poem?
After the students are done discussing, I tell the students that know I'd like them to choose a third poem from our poetry books. They can choose any poem they'd like to read. I tell the students that I'd like them to read this poem carefully, again drawing what they "see" in their mind when they read this poem. But, then I add a bit. When they finish their drawing this time, I'd like them also write about the poem. I'd like for the students to write about their point of view! Tell me what your point of view was when reading this poem. What did you think it was it about? What did you think or feel about this poem? Then, I ask the students to compare their point of view to that of the poet by deciding, either yes or no, they have the same point of view as the poet, and then explaining their thinking in writing. As students work, I circulate around the room to further clarify any misconceptions or answer any question for students, as well as to discuss with them about their point of view about the poems they've chosen to read.
Resources (7)
At the close of the lesson, I regain students attention and remind students that poetry is a neat form of text because it can mean different things for different people. I ask the class, "Is there someone that has the "right" point of view?" The students all respond with "No!" I ask, "Why not?" Students offer that a person's thinking is their thinking, and even though it may be different than the poet's thinking, it's okay because it belongs to them! "Yes! That's right! Everyone has their own point of view, and while sometimes, it may be the same as the poet or author, it can of course be different as well! Well done today recognizing your own point of view!"

Forging an American Identity: The Art of William Ranney with a Catalogue of His Works
Buffalo Bill Historical Center, 225 pp., $59.95
Some years ago, overly optimistic and a little deluded, I decided to write my own, up-to-date version of S. Lane Faison Jr.'s highly detailed and blessedly opinionated 1958 A Guide to the Art Museums of New England. I got far enough to realize that the job probably could no longer be done properly by one person and to find, along with the expected high points, a number of unheralded masterpieces (or at least works that made me want to know more about this or that artist). High on the list of surprises was William Ranney's Shad Fishing on the Hudson (see illustration on page 18), an oil painting dated circa 1846 in the New Britain Museum of American Art, a collection that includes work from the eighteenth century to the present and has a number of particularly fine nineteenth-century landscapes.
Shad Fishing on the Hudson stood out in this Connecticut museum and would do so in any holding of nineteenth-century American painting—though for elusive reasons. Showing four men handling their fishing nets in the middle of heaving waters—we are probably on the New Jersey side of the river in a spot looking toward 125th Street in Manhattan—Ranney's picture might be called a piece of reporting on a local industry. It tells no story, and what we take from it are sensory and formal qualities: the way this nearly three-foot-wide oil, with its white-gray sky and silvery-green water, throws off so much pale, hazy light; the layered and diaphanous beauty of the painting of the waves; and the subtly perfect balances everywhere, from the row of poles in the water holding the nets to the quite separate ways the four men stand or sit in their boat.
What gives Ranney's painting its charge, however, has to do with its note of sketchy elegance. Some years before it was made, the older painter George Catlin, in his portraits of Native Americans and his landscapes of tribal territories west of the Mississippi, presented what could be called an art of bravura simplicity—an art where the painter's individual brush strokes are visible, the oil is thinly applied, and the finished painting resembles a kind of luscious drawing. Especially in the way he paints his fishermen, Ranney seems to be developing Catlin's transparent, impromptu style. One of Ranney's men is hardly more than an outline of a person, yet his flat, seemingly unfinished presence is what gives the picture its winning sense of being carefully planned and deftly improvised at the same time.
Shad Fishing on the Hudson, unfortunately, turns out to be as unusual a work for its creator as it is for American painting. There was nothing like it (and it wasn't included) in the artist's recent retrospective, "Forging an American Identity: The Art of William Ranney." Organized by the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming, it was the first comprehensive exhibition in nearly half a century for the painter, who was born in 1813 and died, of tuberculosis, in 1857.…

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Tony Bennett has again addressed his controversial remarks made to Howard Stern regarding 9/11 attacks on America.
Bennett, 85, appeared on Howard Stern's Sirius XM show on Monday night to promote his upcoming release "Duets II." The conversation took a bizarre turn after Stern asked Bennett, a veteran of World War II, how the United States should deal with the terrorists who were responsible for destroying the World Trade Center.
"They flew the plane in but we caused it," Bennett said. "Because we were bombing them and they told us to stop." He also asked Stern, "Are we the terrorists or are they the terrorists? Two wrongs don't make a right."
Bennett apologized for his remarks on his Facebook page.
Appearing on ABC's "The View," Bennett was asked about his comments. He produced a card and read from it.
"I am sorry if my statements suggested anything other than an expression of my love for my country, my hope for humanity and my desire for peace throughout the world," the singer said, echoing his statement on Facebook.
"Nobody loves America more than I do," Bennett said, reading from the card.
On his Facebook page, Bennett wrote "My life experience… made me a life-long humanist and pacifist, and reinforced my belief that violence begets violence and that war is the lowest form of human behavior."
That said, not everyone is pleased with the apology. On his Facebook page, some were critical.
"My brother died in one of those buildings, and frankly you are so off base in your views of who the terrorists are, I now question your patriotism," wrote Ron Bogdan of Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
"Nice statement by your publicist, however, we heard you loud and clear on the Stern program," wrote Brian Eades of Omaha, Neb. "You clearly equate U.S. actions with those of the terrorists and said the U.S. somehow caused 9/11. The 3,000 people that died that day were innocent people. They were murdered in cold blood. Nothing – no matter what you can point to in U.S. policy over the years – justifies what was done or somehow mitigates the tragedy."
What do you think of Tony Bennett's comments and apology? Sound off below.

Osborne 'the downgraded Chancellor'
George Osborne has been labelled the "downgraded Chancellor" and accused of being in "complete denial" over the loss of the UK's prized AAA credit rating.
Shadow chancellor Ed Balls claimed his opposite number was "just making it up as he goes along" and piled on the humiliation by reciting the Government's own words on the importance of the rating.
He told the Mr Osborne to get "out of denial" and come up with a new plan for jobs and growth.
"The downgrading of Britain's credit rating is, in this Chancellor's own words, humiliating for this Government," he told MPs.
But Mr Osborne, who arrived in the Commons chamber to answer an urgent question to chants of "resign" from the Labour benches, insisted the downgrade had not brought "excessive volatility" in the markets.
Ratings agency Moody's revised downward its verdict on the UK economy late on Friday, putting Mr Osborne under intense pressure. The Conservatives put the safeguarding of Britain's credit rating as the top benchmark to judge its economic success.
Mr Balls said: "The first economic test he set himself - now failed by this downgraded Chancellor. And yet he remains in denial, offering more of the same failing medicine when even Moody's now agree sluggish growth is the problem."
Mr Balls said the Chancellor must put the national interest before his own political pride.
He added: "He used to say a downgrade would be a disaster, today he says this downgrade doesn't matter - but he is still warning a further downgrade really would be a disaster.
"It is utterly baffling and illogical - he's just making it up as he goes along."
